Any Marines out there in Aviation?
FullPotential asked:
I am currently enlisted into the Marine Corps,I ship out for boot camp in three months. I scored a 77 on my ASVAB. Which i was told is slightly above average. I am interested in the field of Avionics and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea what life is like in the Air Wing/Aviation side of the Marine Corps. Any input from any Marines or Former Marines will be helpful. Thank you.

What kind of test is taken to become a Marine Officer Pilot?
Peter asked:
I am considering joining the Marines as a pilot after I receive my bachelors degree. I was told by friend that all prospective pilots must pass a written test in order to qualify and become contracted after OCS is complete.

My question is… Is this test just a more advanced version of ASVAB? Or is it aviation specific? My purpose of asking is primarily for preparation and study purposes. Also, are there any guides (I.E. books or websites) or suggestions to prepare for this?
Thanks!!!
